IBM Shipping More PCs with Trust Chips

Posted by michael on from the trust-us dept.

rts008 submits this EWeek story about IBM shipping more computers with trusted computing inside. Since the article mentions none of the downsides, we should: trusted chips will eventually be used by software manufacturers to make sure the computer's owner does not do anything with the software which the manufacturer does not want to permit.

    Go ahead and paint it with your conspiracy brush.

    But trusted computing to the OSS world really means that no processes will run on my machines that I didn't specifically authorize.
